2Andy writes….
What does it mean to “love one another”? Love is a
fundamental human need – We all desire to love and be
loved. Without love we are somehow lacking. Yet love
can seem so elusive. I don’t just mean romantic love,
like we celebrated last month at Valentines day. I mean
real, long lasting, enduring love. Love that is meaning-
ful, nurturing and life-giving.
At weddings, I always talk about love being life-long and life giving.
But again, that kind of love should not be restricted to married
couples. ALL of us are entitled to love and be loved with an enduring,
unconditional love. THAT kind of love is life-changing! In 1
Corinthians 13 we read a description of love aimed at the Church
family and the love that we should share with one another. The most
powerful verse (for me) is verse 8 which says, “Love never fails”. That
is quite a high expectation!
Loving one another is challenging. Yet the Bible repeatedly calls to us
to “love one another”. The New testament uses the phrase “one
another” 59 times. Clearly how we behave with one another is vitally
important. We are told to love one another 17 times. We are called to
peace, harmony and unity with one another 10 times. We are told to
encourage and build one another up 11 times and we are all called to
be humble and serve one another 10 times. If the bible is SO clear
about how we should be with one another, how come it is so hard to
find people willing to treat us this way?
Well, isn’t that the very problem? All of us are waiting to find someone
who will treat us that way, and when we do, THEN we will love them
back in the same way! Our approach to loving and “one anothering” is
so often conditional, dependent upon others treating us right first.
God’s love for us is unconditional, never changing and never-ending!
We were created in His likeness – created to love like He does. So,
let’s not wait to be loved the way we think we should be. Instead, let’s
take the initiative and show others that same love that God has for us.
What a difference it will make to our lives if we initiate those kinds of
loving “one anothering” relationships. Let’s try and see what difference
it makes.
God bless,

Andy Andy Reid (Vicar)Dear Readers,
Hope you enjoy this magazine. If there are any budding magazine
editors out there, then Andy and I would love to hear from you. In
August I will have been editor for 19 years so I would like to hand over
to someone else from December. It is a privilege to edit the Parish
Magazine and I am glad that we have managed to keep it going
despite Covid.
Hopefully as we move into spring, the lockdown restrictions will ease
and a few activities can start up again. It’s a joy to see the snow-
drops, daffodils and other flowers coming to life and we can all start to
look forward to some warmer weather.
In the meantime, while you are staying at home, it would be great if
you could put pen to paper and write something for the magazine. A
few memories or how you have spent your time during lockdown. We
would all love to hear your experiences. Happy reading, Margaret

COPY DATE FOR APRIL MAGAZINE IS SUNDAY 14 MARCH
ALL ARTICLES TO MARGARET BROAD PLEASE
April magazines will be available from Sunday 28 March
4There are a variety of ways that you can access the church
during these difficult times...
The Church building is open for private prayer
Monday-Friday (9am-5pm).
Our Sunday Worship is a LIVE ONLINE via Zoom at 10.00am.
This will also be recorded and made available online
(YouTube and Facebook) afterwards.
And a NEW Worship Service—On the last Sunday of each month,
there is a new Evening Service at 7pm via Zoom. This will be a time
where we are seeking to press into God, seek His Holy Spirit to move
and work among us and filled with Sung Worship and prayer.
The sung worship will be mostly contemporary worship songs. There
will be silences, where we will listen to God and see what He has to
say to us. There will be time for prayer and reflection. There will be
opportunities for people to share something of what God is doing their
life, share testimonies and give glory to God for His goodness and
love. And there will be a bible reading and short reflection with the
opportunity to reflect and discuss what we think God is saying to us
through His word.
Everyone is welcome! And if you are hungry for more of God, more of
his love and are open to the work of the Holy Spirit, then please do
come and join us.
To join any services on zoom, please use the link in the weekly
newsletter or on the website

down. Although the restrictions seem to have become a way of life
lately, there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel with the
vaccines being rolled out.
Despite the current restrictions, our volunteers are happy to take
people to Doctors, Hospitals, Chiropodist, Opticians, Dentist, and the
Therapy Clinic. However, we will continue to be guided by Surrey
Community Action and information provided by the Government.
IF YOU NEED HELP
Please telephone MONDAY to FRIDAY 07855 680950 10.00am to
12.00noon
WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW VOLUNTEER DRIVERS
and DUTY OFFICERS.

6Pastoral Letter written by Phil Barlow
As I write this letter, we are starting yet another week of lockdown.
I’ve just heard my youngest son’s teacher say to her class that they’re
hoping to get back in class by March but can’t make any promises.
We’re not sure when we’re going to get back to meeting in church
again; some are unsure of when they’ll go back to work and in fact
there are many more uncertainties that we are all facing in these times
due to Covid-19, This is making life difficult for so many people here
and in fact all over the globe.
One encouraging thing of course is that a vaccine has been found and
is being rolled out effectively to those most in need right now. Some
would say on hearing this news that finally, “there is light at the end of
the tunnel,” and I’ve definitely heard that a few times recently.
As I ‘Googled’ this saying, “light at the end of the tunnel”, it was hard
to pin down any one origin, it seems many have staked their claim to
these words or had the saying attributed to them in some form.
The thing is though, metaphorically we are all in a dark lock-
down tunnel at the moment and yes, it is fair to say that the vaccine
offers us a light at the end of the tunnel. This is great news of course
but we still don’t know how long this tunnel really is and actually, I
don’t know about you but as a Christian it doesn’t feel quite right to
use this phrase “light at the end of the tunnel” at all. Surely, we have
the light of Christ all of the time and not just ‘at the end of the tunnel?”
I heard this the other day and it really resonated with me, and perhaps
you’ve heard the same thing said too, but as Christians we shouldn’t
be pointing to the light at the ‘end’ of the tunnel right now, but rather,
we should be the light ‘IN’ the tunnel.
When I heard this it reminded me of the verse in Matthew 5:14 which
reads, “you are the light of the world” and it goes on to say, “…A town
built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put
it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to
everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before
others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in
heaven.”
/cont next page…..
7/Pastoral Letter cont….
These words were spoken from Jesus to the disciples and as
followers of Jesus we too are called His disciples. Yes, you guessed it,
that means these words are being spoken to us today as well, just as
much as they were being spoken to the disciples some 2000 years
ago.
This lockdown is tough for so many people, including many who are
reading this I’m sure. However, let us be encouraged that although
this may be a long dark tunnel that we are in during this pandemic we
can still look to the light of Jesus at all times. And what’s more, we can
let that light shine through us so we can be the light to others also.
So how do we shine the light of Jesus to others today? I think it’s
simple - why not take the time to pray and ask Jesus where He would
like you to shine His light and His love today. The prayer could be as
simple as this; “Heavenly Father, show me where you’d like me to
shine your light today. Show me where you’d like me to show your
love today.”
It’s as simple as that. You’ll be surprised at what unfolds in the day or
days ahead if you pray that prayer I’m sure. You may just find yourself
offering a kind and encouraging word to a neighbour or a cashier in a
supermarket. You may find yourself picking the phone up to a friend
that you haven’t spoken to in a while. You may find yourself buying a
few extra goods at the supermarket so you have extra to put in the
Foodbank. You may find yourself sharing an encouraging scrip-
ture with someone who you know needs to hear and feel God’s love
right now. Who knows where you may shine or what glory you may
bring to God by your simple good deeds?
So, let us remember we have access to the light of Jesus however
dark our circumstances are and what’s more, we are being called to
shine that light for the world to see around us too. Some of us will first
need to see the light for ourselves before we can be the light to others
and that is OK too. Pray for the light and the love of Jesus to enter
your heart – I’m sure He won’t let you down. And for the rest of us, let
us pray that simple prayer every day – show me Jesus where to shine
your light and where to show your love. Amen.
Let us all be the light and love of Jesus ‘IN’ this tunnel right now.
Every blessing. Phil

Bible Verse to Ponder
“Be kind and honest and you will live a long life; others
willl respect you and treat you fairly.”
Proverbs ch 21 v 21 Good News Bible
9Easter Sunday, this year, will be celebrated on Sunday 4th April. The
week leading up to Easter Sunday is known as Holy Week and during
this time Christians remember the final period of Jesus’s life on earth.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday,
which this year will be Sunday 28th
March. It is the final Sunday in Lent
and on this day we remember Jesus
entering Jerusalem in triumph.
The Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of Holy Week are used to reflect on the
life and teachings of Jesus. Then
Maundy Thursday commemorates the
Last Supper of Jesus with the Apostles.
The night of Maundy Thursday is when Jesus was betrayed by Judas
in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at
Calvary. On Holy Saturday (Easter Eve) we remember the day that
Jesus lay in the tomb after his death
The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is celebrated on Easter Sun-
day. In the Gospel of John in the New Testament, we read that Mary
Magdalene came to the tomb where Jesus was buried and found it
empty. An angel told her that Jesus had risen.

10A Children and Families Ministry Update!
In a time when the rhythm of how we meet with
families as a church has had to shift a little, we
thought it would be good to share with you a
little update on our church children, youth and
families ministry. I’d love to share with you just a
few encouragements of what has been going
on…
Encouragement from the last few months
Christmas was crazy! But as well as our
regular viewing hours per month on our All Saints’ Kids YouTube
channel, we had an additional 34.2 hours of watch time from
people in December compared to previous months… and the
majority was those who are not subscribed which points to the fact
that people outside our church are also watching. Let’s pray this
way of reaching out continues to grow and encourage people to
engage in our church stuff!
It was a joy it was to run some in person groups in December! We
had a couple of Sunday morning groups which, although growing
even more is the goal, saw about double the numbers we were
having at the group pre-pandemic.
Tots Praise was able to run for a few
sessions too. Due to booking and limited
space, we didn’t advertise this wider than to
those who were already attending previ-
ously… but what was wonderful in this was
it just showed that there is a continuing
relationship being built with this group of
people. It is difficult at a distance to see the
impact of being in touch while we can’t meet, so it was a real
blessing to hear from them that being in touch with the parents
during lockdown and the online videos clearly had been a real
help. It felt like God was so present in the worship time, and the
time of prayer that we always have for the sick and lonely really
seemed to take on a new meaning… everyone seemed to engage
in this prayer time in a deeper way than pre-pandemic.
/cont next page……….
11/Church and Families Ministry Update cont…...
Assemblies have been one of the biggest opportunities that have
come out of lockdown. Last term we began making weekly assem-
bly videos to be shown in New Haw Juniors, with the Grange In-
fants also wanting them for Advent. For the Spring Term this has
developed into both schools wanting weekly assemblies! This is
such an exciting way for us as a church to be present in both
schools each week.
There have been other things too, but that is just a glimpse of some of
the things that have been going on! For more updates see our web-
site, facebook page or subscribe to our All Saints’ Kids YouTube
channel where more videos are being added.

Stewardship Envelope Giving Scheme
The year ends for your current supply of envelopes, at the end of
March. As we are not currently meeting at the church I will not be
putting your next batch of envelopes at the back of church, as we
have done in previous years.
If you wish to continue giving to the church via this scheme, or you
would like to start giving to our church by this method, please contact
me and I will arrange for you to receive envelopes for the coming
year. I look forward to hearing from you on :- 01932 888915.
Thank you Pam Bridger Envelope Giving Recorder.

12.Normally this month, we would be reporting
on our MU Branch AGM held in February.
However, this year the AGM along with all
our meetings has not yet been held.
As soon as we can meet up again properly,
a short AGM meeting will be arranged. It
will be a short meeting because there is very little to report on from
2020! However we will elect the Committee and it would be great to
have a couple of new Members to join us. It is not onerous, only two
or three meetings each year over coffee and a helping hand with
suggestions for future meetings and activities. Please give Pat Pond
a ring on 01932 340018 if you would like to know more about it.
The Diocese are organising some MU activities on zoom. This
includes the monthly Pilgrimage of Prayer Service held on the first
Tuesday morning of each month. The Lady Day Service on the 25th
March is hoped to be held at the Cathedral if Covid regulations allow,
but otherwise this will also be held via zoom. Emails with details of
zoom meetings etc are sent from the Diocese to Members. If you are
on email and would like to receive these notifications, please let me
know and I can arrange for your email address to be included in the
Diocesan database.
Thank you to all our New Haw Members for paying your subs to the
Diocese. Much of the money is used by the MU as charitable giving
and last year a lot was sent to help third world countries who are
struggling with Covid, as well as some of the poorer areas in this
country. The annual subs also covers the cost of the new twice
yearly publication Connected which will be sent to each MU Member.
Hopefully next month we will have some news of when we can start to
meet up again! In the meantime, keep safe.

Mothers’ Union New Haw
Mothers’ Union is an international Christian charity that seeks to
support families worldwide. Its members are not all mothers or even

grandparents involved in its work. If you would like further details
about our Branch in New Haw and could be interested in joining, then
please contact Pat Pond on 01932 340018.
13WORK PARTY SESSIONS
We are hoping to be able to arrange Work
Party Sessions soon. Socially distanced of
course!
In the meantime, if you have an hour to spare
and are happy to bring your own tools, then a
spot of gardening in the Church grounds would be very much
appreciated.

I sold a vacuum cleaner the other day, all it was doing was gathering
dust.
15Thanks to Jean Samuel for these interesting March dates:
4th March. On this day in 1918 the "Spanish" flu struck Private Albert
Gitchell, a company cook at Fort Riley, Kansas. and went on to
kill 100 million people.
17th March St.Patrick. Patron Saint of Ireland. St.Patrick grew up
in South Wales, but according to legend, he was kidnapped by pirates,
who took him as a slave in Ireland, where he remained captive for six
years. He claimed that God spoke to him in a dream, telling him how
to escape on a ship, which he did. He then went back to Ireland,
where he spread the news of Christianity, setting up churches and
schools to facilitate this.
18th March. On this day in 1932 the Sydney Harbour Bridge was
opened. It is the oldest, longest bridge in Australia and links north
Sydney to the rest of the city. Like the Forth Bridge, painting the
Sydney Harbour bridge is a non-stop job, Sydney Harbour is the
largest natural harbour in the world.
19th March On this day in 1813 David Livingstone was born. He
started life as a cotton worker, and then became a doctor, a mission-
ary and lastly an explorer.
23rd March On this day in 1929 Roger Bannister was born. He was
the first athlete to run a mile in under four minutes.
23rd March. On this day in 1742, the first artificial canal system was
completed, from Whitecoat Point, Portadown to Newry, Northern
Ireland. The main cargo carried was coal from Coalisland,
Co.Tyrone.
25th March. On this day in 1843, the first tunnel under the Thames,
linking Rotherhithe and Wapping, was opened. Built by Isambard
Kingdom Brunel, it took many years to complete as the tunnel
collapsed frequently. It is now a tube tunnel on the East London Line.
26th March. On this day in 1934, driving tests were introduced.
31st March On this day in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was opened. It is
named after the engineer and celebrated bridge maker Gustave Eiffel,
whose company designed and built the tower.
I can’t believe I got fired from the calendar factory. All I did was

IN THE FIFTIES & SIXTIES—Thanks Howard.
Pasta was not eaten. Curry was a surname. A takeaway was a mathe-
matical problem. A pizza was something to do with a leaning tower.
All potato crisps were plain; the only choice we had was whether to
put the salt on or not. Rice was only eaten as a milk pudding.
A Big Mac was what we wore when it was raining. Oil was for lubricat-
ing, fat was for cooking. Tea was made in a teapot using tea leaves
and never green. Fish didn't have fingers in those days. None of us
had ever heard of yoghurt.
Cooking outside was called camping. Seaweed was not a recognised
food. "Kebab" was not even a word, never mind a food. Prunes were
medicinal. Surprisingly, muesli was readily available, it was called
cattle feed.
Water came out of the tap. If someone had suggested bottling it and
charging more than petrol for it, they would have become a laughing
stock!! But what we never ever had on our table in the sixties .....
ELBOWS or PHONES!!!

As we hopefully are coming to the end of Lockdown, we
could start thinking about some Spring Cleaning!! Here
are a few starters, but it’s not compulsory!
1. Make a list—we know that we can’t do everything so
think of the most necessary jobs to tackle.
2. De-clutter—Sort out wardrobes and drawers. Put
away or throw away items that have sat on the
kitchen table for the last year!
3. Work from top to bottom—start cleaning cobwebs from the ceiling
and corners, then dust and finally vacuum the floor.
4. Walls—we often clean floors but walls collect dust as well. Use a
damp towel to wipe down walls and blinds starting from the top.
5. Kitchen—Wipe down cupboards, go through larder and fridge,
wipe down the shelves and throw away old items. For the micro-
wave, fill a large microwave safe bowl with a cup of water and a
chopped up lemon or orange or several tablespoons of white
vinegar and put it inside. Turn microwave on high for a couple of
minutes or until the solution boils and the window is steamy, then
let it cool for 5 minutes before opening the door. Remove bowl
and wipe the inside and outside with a sponge.
6. Bathroom—Don’t forget to go through the cabinet and throw away
outdated items. To remove hard water build up on taps, put half a
fresh lemon on the end of the tap and wrap clingfilm around.
Leave for a few hours, remove and wipe tap clean.
7. Windows—Wait for an overcast day and start on the shady side of
the house as direct sun can lead to streaks.
18World Day of Prayer
The World Day of Prayer service will be held this
year on Friday 5th March at 2pm.

Ocean. The islands stretch for about
400 miles and form a 'Y' shape.

That will take you directly to the service or you can view on You-
tube https://youtube/TNg71XPA8ws
Please have a stone from your garden with you while you watch the
service.
Service Booklets: These will be put on the bench at the back of
church for collection by anyone who would like to follow the service on
YouTube with the additional aid of the booklet. There are large print
ones available if wanted.

19New Haw Library—Community Partnered Library
"You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprece-
dented in the history of the world, but then you read. It
was books that taught me that the things that tormented
me most were the very things that connected me with all
the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive."
— James Baldwin
"What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper
unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort
and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and
how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship
mean; they show us how to live and die."
— Anne Lamott
Both of these quotes struck a chord with me. They highlight some of
the joy and pleasure felt by the individuals concerned. Could you
describe the pleasure that reading has brought to you? Are there
tangible benefits from reading a particular book? Did it inspire you to
do something totally different? Is reading a luxury left to holidays, or
something without which you cannot sleep.
New Haw Library is still open three sessions a week but the Monday
and Wednesday sessions are 1.30pm to 4.30pm. Friday is still
10.00am to 1.00pm.
Shân Hughes, New Haw Community Partnered Library
Some quotes from Winston Churchill:
Diplomacy is the art of telling people to go to hell in such a way
that they ask for directions.
Fear is a reaction, courage is a decision.
A nation that forgets its past has no future.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of
enthusiasm.
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist
sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words and I
must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.
In life there are many opportunities to keep your mouth shut.

Thank you All Saints’ family for your prayers, messages and concern
as my family had to make the difficult decision to place my dear Peter
in permanent care. He is in The Grange now.
Alzheimer’s and latterly battling Covid has been a struggle for
him. The man I fell in love with over 50 years ago has left us and is in
his own world now. I can only pray he is peaceful and calm as he
settles in at The Grange and is cared for by the amazing staff.

21LOCAL NEWS—the latest Surrey Police Engagement
Plan for Runnymede says that since April 2020, we
have the fifth highest level of reported crime in Surrey.
However, overall crime is down by over 7% with 281
fewer offences. Runnymede has the lowest levels of anti
social behaviour and crime in the Northern Division.
The Police state that their priorities cover preventing and detecting
crime and safeguarding the public. Officers spend time dealing with
safeguarding enquiries involving: missing persons, mental health,
vulnerable adults or concerns for safety. There were 127 missing
person enquires in Runnymede last year and 618 vulnerable adult
incidents. They have also visited hundreds of homes during Covid to
ensure that no one was forgotten and unable to access vital services.
SILVER CLUB
of Woodham & New Haw (est. 1948)
TO ALL OUR MEMBERS
Well, the first month of the year has passed. Still no news on when the
Silver Club can open again and members can join together in the Day
Centre. Hopefully, it will not be too long but the time has really started
dragging. If you are like Julie and myself, you will have had the first
vaccination. Great news BUT it was stressed to us that we should
continue to be vigilant, follow the rules and that will help the virus
numbers decrease. The vaccination on its own, unfortunately, is not
enough for us all to start meeting everyone and partying! So, hope
you are doing this and we can all come out of lockdown soon and get
back to normal.
We hope all of you take care and look after yourselves and if you
need help you can contact Julie or myself or RUNNYMEDE COUNCIL
on 01932 838383 (Option 5). We will try to touch base with you as
time allows and we hope that we can all stick it out for another month.
We still hope to come back together with a party and if you have any
ideas as to what you would like at the party, let us know.
Take care, all of you.
If you need to contact any of us, please call Val on 01932 840028

23Thanks to Lyn Taylor for this fascinating information:
During the Second World War many of our courageous airmen were
taken as prisoners of war. A good proportion tried to escape back to
Britain but one item that they were missing was a good map.
Paper maps had some real drawbacks - but then someone at MI5 got
the idea of printing escape maps on silk It's durable, can be scrunched
up into tiny wads, and unfolded as many times as needed, and makes
no noise whatsoever.
At that time, there was only one manufacturer in Great Britain that
had perfected the technology of printing on silk, and that was John
Waddington, Ltd. When approached by the government, the firm was
only too happy to do its bit for the war effort.
By pure coincidence, Waddington was also the U.K. Licensee for the
popular board game, Monopoly, and 'games and pastimes' was a
category of item qualified for insertion into 'CARE packages', sent by
the International Red Cross to prisoners of war.
Under the strictest secrecy, a group of employees began mass-
producing escape maps, keyed to each region of Germany or Italy
where Allied POW camps were located. When folded these maps
would actually fit inside a Monopoly playing piece.
The clever workmen at Waddington's also managed to include:
1. A playing token, containing a small magnetic compass
2. A two-part metal file that could easily be screwed together
3. Useful amounts of genuine high-denomination German, Italian, and
French currency, hidden within the piles of Monopoly money!
British and American air crews were advised, before taking off on their
first mission, how to identify a 'rigged' Monopoly set - by means of a
tiny red dot, one cleverly rigged to look like an ordinary printing glitch,
located in the corner of the Free Parking square.
Of the estimated 35,000 Allied POWS who successfully escaped, an
estimated one-third were aided in their flight by the rigged Monopoly
sets. Everyone who did so was sworn to secrecy indefinitely, since the
British Government might want to use this highly successful ruse in
still another, future war.
The story wasn't declassified until 2007, when the surviving craftsmen
from Waddington's, as well as the firm itself, were finally honoured in a
public ceremony.
24Grant for All Saints’
All Saints were delighted to be awarded £1,000 in November 2020
from Allchurches Trust Limited as a Hope Beyond grant towards the
cost of online streaming, to ensure more people will be able to watch
services when social distancing limits the numbers attending in
person.
The church has been donated a broadcast-quality camera from the
Church of the Good Shepherd, Pyrford, which is compatible with our
existing computer, projector and audio system. We have upgraded
the internet capacity of the Church hall, and now have the grant
money to purchase the software, tripod and connecting cables
required to use the camera rather than rely on Andy’s phone.
Since March 2020, more people have been watching services online
than attended in person with the social distancing restrictions. The
feedback has shown the value to those who are shielding or self-
isolating, and services are available to all with internet access. It is
important to offer a high quality of sound and vision, which is the aim
of this project.
Allchurches Trust is one of the UK's largest grant-making charities and
gave more than £16 million to churches, charities and communities in
2018. Its funds come from its ownership of Ecclesiastical Insurance
Group.
We plan to purchase the equipment and start training as soon as
Government regulations allow. It is important that a team of
enthusiastic people are involved, so the expertise is shared, and more
events can be streamed online. If you would like to take part, or to
receive more information about the project, please contact myself.

26RECYCLE PRINTER INK CARTRIDGES
Please start saving your old printer ink
cartridges to help
the church and the environment.
A recycling company pays up to £1.85 for
each cartridge
received and the first batch made over £33.
There is a container in the main foyer
but until the premises are completely open again
I am very happy to collect any cartridges you may have.
Just give me a ring and I will make the journey as part
of my daily walk! Once Claire’s coffee shop is open again
there will be a container in there too.
This is a very good opportunity to raise money
and help the environment at the same time by diverting
old cartridges from landfill. Cartridges can be recycled
many times in this way. Please start collecting and
ask friends and neighbours too.
Thank you. Sarah Webb (01932 350747)
Some wise words from Nicky Boxer:
Sometimes it is only in sharing with a friend the pain we feel, that
helps.
Even if we do not know what to say or do to make it better…
Only knowing that someone cares deeply and is there as the situation
progresses develops, is resolved.
Keep strong. God loves you all
He will be there for you, even though it often feels that His hand is out
of reach.
It is in our friends that we find the link to touch Him .
And this from Jenny Froude:
Staff in a Covid ward have set up an “inspirational wall” upon which
they write their hopes and prayers.
One wrote “ life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about
learning to dance in the rain”.

29This is the perfect lemon sponge cake
to enjoy on Mothering Sunday!
175g unsalted butter, softened, plus
extra for the tin
175g golden caster sugar
3 large eggs
3 large unwaxed lemons , zested, plus
4-4 ½ tbsp juice
250g self-raising flour
½ tsp baking powder
100g Greek yogurt
400g icing sugar
For the candied peel: 2 large lemons, 200g granulated sugar
1. Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 3. Butter a deep, loose-
bottomed, 18cm cake tin and line the base with baking parch-
ment.
2. Beat the butter and caster sugar together with an elec-
tric whisk until fluffy and pale in colour. Crack the eggs in one at a
time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the lemon zest.
Fold in the flour, baking powder and ½ tsp salt, then fold in the
yogurt.
3. Spoon the mixture into the lined tin, smoothing the top with
a spatula. Bake in the centre of the oven for 50-55 mins, or until
golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Cool in the tin for 10
mins before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Will
keep in an airtight container for up to four days, or in the freezer
for up to a month.
4. To make candied lemon peel, peel large, wide strips from the
lemons using a vegetable peeler. Remove any pith with a knife,
then cut the peel into very thin matchsticks. Tip the granulated
sugar into a saucepan with 200ml water and set over a medium
heat until the sugar has dissolved. Add the lemon peel and simmer
gently for 15 mins, then scoop the peel out using a slotted spoon
and set on a piece of kitchen paper to cool.
5. When you’re ready to decorate, sieve the icing sugar into a bowl
and beat in enough of the lemon juice to create a thick icing. Set
the cake on a serving plate or cake stand, then spoon over the
icing, allowing it to drip down the sides a little and top with candied
peel.
30REST IN PEACE
Recently, we heard the sad news of the deaths of two well-known
former members of All Saints.
Jack Sieber died on 12th January, and will be remembered by many
as our NatWest bank manager at New Haw. He worshipped here
between 1975 and 2010, including periods as Treasurer and Church-
warden, whilst his late wife, Sheila, and their daughters sang in the
choir.
Eric Ayling died on 20th January, aged 90, and he served as Church-
warden, Server, Chalice Assistant and sang in the choir during the
years between 1956 and 1986, when he retired to Yorkshire with his
late wife, Jean. I still remember Eric teaching me how to ring the bell
properly as a youngster.
We thank God for their years of faithful service, and send prayers to
their families at this time.
Linda Salt
A PRAYER FOR THOSE WHO MOURN
Gracious God, as we remember before you those who have died,

31GUILDFORD CATHEDRAL
With heavy hearts we took the difficult decision to close
the cathedral building to visitors and members of the
congregations. We believe that in remaining open to we
may, inadvertently, be communicating an ‘invitation’ to
leave home. We are all disappointed that we have had
to take this decision, and with the support of Chapter, we believe that
this is the right thing to do in the current circumstances.
We all look forward to the time when we can be together in person.
Praying together
Lord God, you have called us to ventures of which we cannot see the
ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown.
Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go,
but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Easyfundraising and Amazon Smile
Last year the church received £127 through these platforms. Easy-
fundraising was set up by the lovely Julie Barlow in 2015 and over the
years has generated £993.
It does take a little effort to set them up and then remember to shop
through Easyfundraising or Amazon Smile. Still, we can raise much
needed funds for the church this way.

Quote from a letter sent to the Nation by the Archbishops
of Canterbury and York:
We have hope because God raised Jesus from the dead. This is the
Christian hope that we will be celebrating at Easter. We live in the
hope that we will share in his resurrection. Death doesn’t have the
last word. In God’s kingdom every tear will be wiped away.
In the UK, Mother's Day is formally known as Mothering Sunday. It
takes place on the fourth Sunday of Lent and was
traditionally a day when Christians were encouraged
to visit their “mother church”.
On this day we remember our own mothers and it can
be a time to thank them for all their loving care.
Put your clocks forward one hour when you go to bed on
Saturday 27th March.
